get the printer to work while in Windows XP on MY computer however, in
redhat... ok..I went to the print manager...went to new..and I'm seting up
for the printer....when I get to queue type, I selected Networked Windows
(SMB) and the computer name in which I want to connect is there....however,
when I click it, no printers are found and I cannot continure...so I go to
specify. I am VERY new at linux...so I'm not sure if I have all this
right...under workgroup..I put the workgroup name of the computer that has
the printer...under server, I put the LAN IP address of that computer, under
share, I tried once with the computer name of the computer and I tried once
with the name of the printer. I wasn't sure which one goes there...I put in
the Username and Password and hit OK...the computer with the printer showed
that it recieved !
> data and showed that it sent data, then the authentication(box I get
after I click specify) blinks and comes back, and doesn't allow me to
continue. any suggestions..and more information needed...thank you in
advance
